Travel exposes you to new places, new experiences and sometimes—new hobbies. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to draw from a pro, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Renowned portrait and landscape artist Mr. Larry Aarons will serve as Uniworld’s very own art instructor and mentor on two sailings in 2019. His workshops are designed for everyone and will feature:

A lesson on how to create a charcoal portrait using Larry's brush method.

A small and personalised class setting with a breathtaking view of Europe’s stunning landscape.

A hand-drawn memento for you to keep and cherish for years to come.

Uniworld is happy to provide these classes and all sketch materials at no additional cost. All you have to do is sign up onboard. Classes are limited to 10 students each, so don’t wait until it’s too late.
